ok i've just boutght a new laptop and i need something with wich to manage my music and vids. im not too happy bout itunes because of the way it feels the need to copy all your files into a completely new directory.

the problem is, i have an ipod and i know how ghey apple are with their cross compatibility. if there are any other programs that can interface with the ipod and keep the functionality, please feel free to share.

thanks guys

Hi Basti

I can tell you from experience that Winamp has an iPod plugin you can use.

Another one that is getting lots of praise at the moment is MediaMonkey

There is also a new one coming from the same lot that bought us Firefox. It's called Songbird

That's still in beta though, so I suggest you try the others first.

Hope that helps :D

Yeah, Winamp is the tried and true media player for most. It doesn't chew through processor power like Windows Media Player does (I say this, but I still use Windows Media Player)

You do know that you can change where itunes dumps you music, right?

I use itunes on my PC to manage my music, but only out of convenience... and the fact that I am rarely in front of my PC.

Winamp is a far superior app.

I use Winamp for mine as well. After trying to figure out Itunes, and cracking it after it wouldn't even pick up my ipod, I found Winamp, and it's so easy and quick to use.
Winamp all the way. Itunes sux serious ass

winamp "really whips the llamas ass" :P

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
